Nuclear and Mitochondrial Analysis of Patients with Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma
30 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Certain types of glaucoma are linked to nuclear genetic mutations or to mitochondrial disturbances. In this study, patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) were examined for mutations in nuclear genes reported to be associated with glaucoma and for possible mitochondrial abnormalities. METHODS: In patients with PACG, the nuclear genes MYOC, OPTN, CYP1B1, WDR36, OPA1, and OPA3 were sequenced,...
